What Are You Looking Forward To In .NET 2.0?

Posts: 746 · Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2005 5:55 pm

Among my top items I'm looking forward to are :

Generics
Partial Types

Anybody else see any new features they are excited about or am I the only geek here?

What's the big thing w/ Generics? I see alot of controversial talk about them... some say good, others say bad... Any good reads for me?

I actually have a little demo at home I think an how Generics will work - it was REALLY good and got me salivating for them - I will try and locate it tonight and post it on my webspace for you to DL from there. It's a hard thing to explain (for me anyways) as it's kind of a hard concept to understand. When I saw this video I was sold. Let me see if I can find it FIRST - if I can't I'll try and give you some links to help clear the mud

Well I checked at home and I do not have that video anymore - I got it off of this site :

They have some free videos and they are actually really good - the one I DL'd on Generics WAS a past freebie...
When I get home tontight I'll dig up some stuff on generics for you. I think they will really be cool. It's a totally new concept for me as well - they are very similar to C++ templates but with more flexibility and functionality.
